A Process Engineer will implement, develop, and optimize production methodologies in the manufacturing operations of Tesla. This Engineer will be responsible for optimizing product flow through the factory through process optimization that may include tool fixture selection, line layouts, ergonomic study, material presentation, and other relevant factors. They will interface with design, test, and quality engineering to solve problems, improve manufacturability, and implement continual improvement. They will sustain products with cost reduction and yield improvements. In addition, the process engineer will work with quality to compile and evaluate data to determine appropriate limits and variables for process or material specifications. Develop expertise in manufacturing processes. Understand process capabilities through critical data analysis and in-depth understanding of the product. Develop and modify line layouts, including material flow, waste reduction, and ergonomics, utilizing Lean Manufacturing best practices. Analyze and optimize production processes to ensure safety while maximizing Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) in cost-effective means while driving to achieve world-class quality levels. Champion continuous improvement projects (CIP) to maximize yield, capacity, and capability. Responsible for diagnosing issues found during the part manufacturing process and drive corrective action back to source, resulting in root cause identification and elimination. Utilize structured problem-solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W), and Eight Disciplines (8D). Develop robust and clear data collection, visualization, and analysis tools. Enable data-driven operational and financial decisions through predictive insights into tool and process performance, including integration of factory data systems and use of software such as MySQL, Python, R, JMP, Minitab, Tableau, and Ignition. Perform supporting activities for engineering and manufacturing, including 5S and Lean manufacturing activities, material handling improvements, production line configuration, and safety procedures. Monitor and reduce process variation using techniques such as Statistical Process Control (SPC) and Measurement Systems Analysis (MSA). Monitor and audit manufacturing processes to ensure product specifications and standards are achieved. Participate in the development and maintenance of FMEAs and Control Plans. Analyze, develop process, and implement Engineering Change Orders. Create and maintain Manufacturing Instructions, routings, and associated processes. Manage activities for process sustaining technicians to support day-to-day coverage of production line, including developing and documenting appropriate rework procedures. Support 24 by 7 production operations. Requirements: Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience. Knowledge of Statistical Process Control and its application. 4 years in a high-volume, highly automated manufacturing facility developing and improving processes. Experience developing and improving Process. Have a demonstrated track record of Overall Equipment Effectiveness improvement activities. Strong problem-solving skills and an aptitude for learning systems quickly. Able to utilize structured problem-solving techniques such as DMAIC, Ishikawa, Five Why (5W), or Eight Disciplines (8D). Able to resolve high-level performance issues into addressable actions. Experience in the use of a broad variety of test, control, and data acquisition equipment and software. Strong ability to work and communicate effectively with team and peers within a manufacturing and engineering organization.
